UK Balks at Hooters' Expansion

Some Britons are choking on Hooters' plan to serve up another 35 locations in the UK, the Guardian reports. Britain has one so far, but feminists are already accusing the chain of importing misogyny and sexist entertainment with its chicken wings. "Without the sexualised waiters and the soft porn and sport on display, what would men go for?" one asked. "They can get better and cheaper chicken wings in KFC."

"Hooters is and intends to be more like a lap-dance club than a family restaurant," she said. (More Hooters stories.)
